Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir Elton John, Kinks star Ray Davies and Elvis Costello will top the bill at a new outdoor summer festival in London's Hyde Park.

They will be part of a celebration of British songwriters which also includes Nick Lowe, Del Amitri's Justin Currie and Thea Gilmore on Friday July 12.

The artists will be taking the stage for the Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park events which also feature performances by Bon Jovi and The Rolling Stones.

Tickets for the 12 July show go on sale on Thursday and further headliners are still to be announced.

Rob Hallett of promoter AEG Live said: "Imagine how many hits you are going to hear between Elton, Ray and Elvis - this one's a real treat."
